The study of small-world networks (SWN) has become popular with the growth of the World Wide Web (or simply Web) and more recently with the rising growth of social networking sites such as Facebook. The idea of a small world can be simply described as between any two people there is only a short chain linking them through their acquaintances. SWNs was first studied in the pioneering work of Stanley...
Small world network (SWN) have been shown to be navigable - a short route can be found using efficiently using decentralized algorithms. This routing relies on nodes having a position to guide the routing such as its coordinates. Even in the absence of positional information such as node coordinates, by using local self-reorganization, it is possible to reconstruct a proxy for the node coordinates...
Recent research has shown that small world network (SWN) is navigable. In this position paper, we propose that SWN, for example those which are social networks, have nice properties which make them attractive as overlay networks. Such networks occupy a space between structured and unstructured overlay networks. Our thesis is that SWN may be attractive enough to be a replacement for traditional structured...
